Noodles in Chicago, IL

“Best Chinese food EVER! So much flavor ❤️“

“I came to this restaurant in February of this year for my birthday, and 6 months later I’m still thinking about this ramen and trying to see when I can go back. Had the Monster Ramen and it was the most flavorful ramen I’ve ever tried. Definitely excited to go back and either get it again or try something else, I’m sure everything they have is just as good.“

“Would rate 5 stars if they made their Pad see ew dishes less oily!! Would also love to see drunken noodle available on their ubereats menu. Their vege fried rice with shrimp is really good. The tom yum I had was WAY too sweet. Dishes are hit or miss but I like ordering here. If you take in the feedback, you will be my fav!“

“Great food and eclectic music. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town.“

“This is a popular place and it is well managed. It has an extensive menu for diverse tastes. Please be aware that portions are huge. The two dishes we ordered for both of us could have easily served four persons. The low mein with shrimp was especially good. The fried rice dish with fish was very average. This restaurant was only about a 15 minute walk from our hotel and that was a + for us.“

“I really appreciate how clearly the vegan or vegetarian options are listed. They are able to make a few things vegan and a few things are already vegan. Their smoked tofu, although extra to add, is really good. Not bland and mushy like many omni places. They also have a happy hour 4-6 with a few vegan options! I got the chili peanut noodles with tofu and loved it. I also got the corn fritters to start, great just the dipping sauce isn’t vegan fyi.“

“Love Love this place!!!! Food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and attentive!!“

“My husband and I haven’t had thai food since our honeymoon in Thailand, and this place hit the spot! The khao soi was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the Tom Kha (his favorite soup in thailand) and it was the perfect spice level for him. We shared the crab egg omelet and that was also phenomenal. Highly recommended if you want a taste of genuine Thai cuisine.“

“as someone who loves thai food, i go to rice & noodles at least once a week. i work a couple blocks away so it is super convenient for me to stop by here for their lunch specials. my food is always ready on time and the staff is super friendly.“

“Tucked away on the 7th floor of Macy's on State, Noodles by Takashi is a hidden gem for a quick, satisfying lunch in the Loop. Dropped about $16 on the Shoyu Ramen combo with a half tuna-avocado roll. The broth was rich, noodles had a nice chew, and the sushi was fresh. Perfect spot when you're craving something warm and flavorful without breaking the bank.“

“The food and service was excellent. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here.
Please try the Mapo tofu and biang biang noodles! You can ask to alter your spice level with every dish and we were very satisfied with the level of spice.“

“Authentic made by family Korean food. Consistently good food and service.“

“Absolutely fantastic wait staff (maybe the owner?), delicious food, and even had gluten free options! Especially in the recent heat wave, the strong a/c was a welcome refuge, seating was comfy, and our water was never allowed to reach the halfway mark.

My husband declared that if we lived here, this would be his new place for the Gai Kra Pao, which is perhaps the best praise it could get from him. My pad thai was equally fantastic and I'll definitely look to go back next time we're in the area.“

“Delicious food. Wonderful service.“

“The food here is really good. They use high quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and great spice. The dried chilli hot sauce is made in house and is so good, I always ask to take some home. This is not your typical Americanized Chinese food. I will ksep coming back. They also have a full bar, which is great.“

“They have the best Chinese food down. I always get the string beans and the sesame chicken. It’s so delicious.“

“Mike is hands down the best real estate agent in the greater Chicago area. Moved to the Chicago area blind with no prior information and Mike did an excellent job in helping me find my current home within 1-2 months of me moving here. Great detail in video tours as well for those who are out of state.“

“My friend and I came here on a trip to Chicago, and be warned: it is amazing. Got a Kao Soy noodle and a Thai iced tea, both were excellent. The Kao Soy is amazing and one of my favorite noodle dishes I've had at a thai restaurant. The restaurant was hot, though, so during summer bring a fan“

“The lamb skewer was delicious, and so was the hand-stretched noodles with beef in hot & sour sauce. The marinated pork roujiamo was also yummy but the meat was a little dry. On the bright side, the chili oil was a good compliment to the meal and the food got out relatively fast after ordering. Overall, it's an another hole-in-a-wall restaurant in Chinatown that serves food other than the usual Cantonese food like many other places in the area.“

“I recently ordered takeout from Mei’s Chinese Restaurant in Chicago and loved the vegetable fried rice! It was so flavourful, and the crunchy bean sprouts were a great touch.

The next day, I went back for lunch, but the fried rice wasn’t available until 2pm. I tried the wonton noodles and spring rolls instead. The soup was a bit bland, but the wontons were delicious and generously portioned. The spring rolls were crispy, though the cold dipping sauce was a little unusual.

A nice bonus, there’s a discount for patrons staying at nearby hotels.“

“Definitely recommend! First time ordering - ordered orange chicken and ken kee fried rice - will be ordering again!!“

“me encanto lo recomiendo“

“Low prices large Portion sizes great food“

“I picked up an order, I got home and noticed there was an item missing, and when I called, the manager (owner?) spoke to me and offered to drive it to my home after they closed up shop. I tried to tip the man who delivered it but he refused. He was very kind and thanked me for my business. Arguably the best customer service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant.“

“Joy Yee is an absolute gem for Asian cuisine! The menu is extensive, with everything from bubble tea to delicious noodle dishes. I loved the vibrant flavors and generous portions—perfect for sharing. The service was quick, and the food came out fresh and hot. It’s always busy, but worth the wait. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for authentic, tasty Asian food!“

“[Pho Restaurant Name] is a hidden gem that elevates the humble bowl of phở into something quietly remarkable. The broth is a masterclass in patience — crystal clear, deeply aromatic, and rich with the essence of slow-simmered bones and spices.

I had the P7, and the rare beef melted effortlessly into the broth. Accompanied by fresh herbs, lime, and crisp sprouts, each bite felt personal and deeply satisfying.
Service was gracious, the space calm and inviting.

In a world of culinary trends, [Pho Restaurant Name] stays true to its roots — and in doing so, offers something far more enduring.“

“Best asian food in Transylvania“

“Really yummy food and really good service.“

“I love the Alfredo Montamore! It's so delicious. ��“

“I loved the hospitality and service here. My sister had the most incredible wonton/dumpling noodle soup. The portion sizes were amazing, especially compared with the prices.The staff were some of the most kindest people, they made sure we were taken care of the entire time. The restaurant had a family oriented energy, which contributed to the positive atmosphere. There was a kind elderly gentleman that brought me my bag when I forgot it at my table after dinner. 10/10 I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you so much!!“

“Some of the best Thai food in the city. Our favorite dishes include their mooping, chive dumplings, satay, pad Thai, and all the curries. The curries aren’t overly sweet like I’ve tasted elsewhere, and their pad Thai has just the right amount of tamarind to make it legit. Thank you for high-quality Thai food, R Haaan.“

“Fast and friendly oh ya good food 😎“

“We had a great meal here! The food was super fresh and tasted amazing. The seafood, especially the octopus and shrimp, was cooked just right, and the broth in the soup was so flavorful and comforting. Everything was really well-prepared, and the service was friendly too. Definitely a spot we’d come back to! ❤️ Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5“

“super authentic, good quality food! great owners and staff!“

“Ben’s is my go-to Thai restaraunt. I’ve ordered takeout from them loads of times and have always been happy. The portions are generous and I feel it is a good value for my money. My favorite is the chive dumplings (although they stick together so I wish they would package them differently). They also have a weekday lunch special that is a good deal.

I saw someone mention how they didnt like their food and had a problem with the to-go cups having a lot of ice in it. I believe they freeze the styrofoam cups with water so there is a cup-shaped large ice cube in their to go drinks. Simple solution is to ask for no ice :)

I’ve never dined in, but it is your standard small hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurant with just a few tables. No frills. Good food.“

“New favorite spot 😊 🤩 ❤️. Will return and bring all my friends!“

“I haven’t eaten inside the restaurant yet but we order take out almost weekly. We recently moved to the suburbs from Chicago and have been disappointed with the Thai places we’ve tried. We’ve finally found our go to place to order from! Food is always delivered still warm and fresh. You can choose your spice level and even the medium be quite spicy so order accordingly. We love this place and hope it stays around!“

“Fine dining love there food come here to eat everyday excellent service and feels like your at home“

“Took my husband here one last time to say goodbye to Chicago before moving states; this was one of our favorite places to eat when we began dating 11 summers ago. �“

“I dropped into this spot for lunch on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the chill vibe, the great playlist, and the attention to service.

The service was quiet and friendly, and the lunch special was delicious at a great rate. I would recommend anyone with a sushi itch go here for a scratch. I hope to come back soon for the other things on the menu.“

“The steak stroganoff was amazing! Very good. Going to the one here in New Jersey now.�“

“I live in the mid-West now. This place reminds me of home…
The best/authentic 布拉腸粉 (a type of noodle roll I ate when I was a kid ) that I can find! Very thin and smooth!

I also ordered wonton but did not take photo. It was also very good!! 有咬口～ 可以食得出肉餡打左好耐～

Service was quick and nice.

Overall, recommend!“

“This place is awesome! I don’t know why this place has not gotten famous yet since the potato noodles are so delicious and authentic. 土豆粉 and 黄焖鸡 are so good - I have ordered delivery and had dine in experience, and the food just hit the right spot!!“

“I live near the Chicago Marathon, and it’s rare to find a Chinese restaurant in a residential area. I have to say that the price is really cheap, and the portions are American-sized. Three people ordered a portion of fried rice, egg rolls, and a bowl of hot and sour soup, and there was more to take away. go back. There are also additional snacks, which together with the service fee are $26. It's a pity that I was too hungry and forgot to take pictures. It's really worth recommending.“

“Thank you Mr. Freed. It was a delightful outing. Informed their under new mgmt.“

“If you’re craving some legit Thai food, Rice & Noodles should be on your list. The pad Thai is straight fire—tangy, flavorful, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The spicy basil chicken? Don’t sleep on it. It’s got the right amount of heat that’ll have you reaching for your water, but it’s so tasty you won’t mind. I spent around $30 for a generous serving of pad Thai and basil chicken, plus a refreshing Thai iced tea. The vibe is chill, and the service is always on point, which makes it a great spot for a quick dinner or a laid-back meal. Definitely coming back to try more items on the menu!"“

“The first time I had the food here, it was amazing. I’ve been to Che Thai about 10 times in the past five months—great service every time!

Some of my favorites are the Tom Yum soup, Basil Fried Rice, and Tom Yum Rice. The wings are good too!

There are a few women who work here, but there’s one in particular who is so nice. I absolutely love when she prepares my food—it’s always consistently good 😊.

On the flip side, the younger cooks don’t seem as passionate when it comes to preparing the food. It doesn’t quite taste the same when they’re working. Maybe they’re just getting started or aren’t fully invested yet—I’m not sure.

Overall, I’d give this place an 8/10. Thank you!
Once I get her name, I’ll come back and update this review.“

“Wonderful food and service! I come here every time I visit Chicago!!!!“
